> Don't use socket-based activation and do your dependencies manually, just as in the SysV world. Simple.
Then why is it that when people talk about doing exactly this, they get jumped by systemd people saying things like "why didn't you submit a bug report to get that capibility added to systemd" or "that's a stupid way to do things, you need to re-write your software to use systemd to do it"
This subthread started by the simple statement that socket-based activation was not always appropriate, with the acknowledgement that systemd could support this.

These advices are not mutually exclusive, you know.
If you have a compelling use-case of some exotic activation system for which it makes sense to add core support then doing a bugreport might be a good idea.
And in other cases it might be a good idea to simply rewrite the offending code.
